Report: Top transfer QB Sam Leavitt visiting LSU

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Sam Leavitt, the top player in the On3 transfer portal rankings, is visiting LSU on Monday and Tuesday, per On3.

Leavitt spent the past two seasons at Arizona State. His 2025 season was cut short after seven games by a foot injury that required surgery.

New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is in need of a starting QB. The position was filled last season by Garrett Nussmeier, who is out of eligibility, and sophomore Michael Van Buren Jr. He has entered the portal.

Leavitt previously visited Kentucky.

In 2024, Leavitt led Arizona State to the Big 12 title and an appearance in the College Football Playoff as he threw for 2,885 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions in 13 games.

In seven appearances in 2025, Leavitt completed 60.7% of his passes for 1,628 yards, 10 TDs and three picks.

Leavitt started his college career in 2023 at Michigan State and attempted just 23 passes before transferring to the Sun Devils. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Coaches stress rivalry, but more at stake when No. 20 ASU meets No. 25 Arizona

Posted on | by Field Level Media

More than bragging rights will be on the line for No. 20 Arizona State and coach Kenny Dillingham when the Sun Devils face No. 25 Arizona, an archrival, on Friday night in a Big 12 Conference game at Tempe.

Arizona State (8-3, 6-2) remains in the chase for a spot in the Big 12 championship game heading into the last weekend of the regular season, but the Sun Devils would have to beat Arizona (8-3, 5-3) and get help from other teams.

During his weekly press conference on Monday, Dillingham reflected more on what Friday’s game means as a rivalry between two winning teams this season rather than the Sun Devils’ remote hopes to play in the title game.

“This is a game that matters,” Dillingham said. “You know that your neighbor could have gone to either school. That’s what makes this rivalry fun is that people are friends with people on both sides of this rivalry, and that’s what makes it so big is the relationships that are within the rivalry, right?

“It’s awesome to have this game played with two really good football teams. I think that’s what you want. You want this game to matter. It’s awesome that it matters.”

Arizona State enters the game with three straight wins, with backup quarterback Jeff Sims leading the way following the season-ending foot injury suffered by Sam Leavitt. The Sun Devils are coming off a 42-17 victory over Colorado last week.

Arizona is on a four-game winning streak after losing two games in a row: in double overtime to BYU and by a field goal to Houston. The Wildcats’ latest win came Saturday against Baylor, 41-17.

“I think it’s one of the best rivalries in college football,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said of Territorial Cup matchup with Arizona State. “It’s such a unique thing just being in the state of Arizona; there’s so many kind of families divided by these two schools.

“I think it’s just a really, really special thing, and we’re excited to play. Rivalry games just have so much to them, that make them so fun and exciting. Then when you have two teams come together, they’re both playing good football, I think just have a little extra juice to them.”

Dillingham mentioned that Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita is “playing as well as any quarterback in the country.”

During the Wildcats’ winning streak, Fifita has played efficiently, throwing eight touchdown passes and only one interception. He is 64-for-106 (60.4%) for 848 yards in the last four games.

Overall this season, Fifita is 219-for-341 (64.2%) for 2,677 yards and 25 touchdowns, with five interceptions. Last season, when Arizona went 4-8, Fifita threw 18 TD passes and 12 picks.

For Arizona State, Sims — formerly of Georgia Tech and Nebraska — has proved to be a dual-threat quarterback more dangerous as a runner since permanently replacing Leavitt five weeks ago.

Sims has rushed for 423 yards on 83 carries with two touchdowns and has thrown for 772 yards while completing 67 of 125 attempts (53.6%) with seven touchdowns and two interceptions.

Backup QB Jeff Sims leads Arizona State to win at Iowa State

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Jeff Sims rushed for a career-best 228 yards and accounted for three touchdowns to lead Arizona State to a 24-19 victory over Iowa State on Saturday afternoon in Big 12 play at Ames, Iowa.

Sims started in place of injured Sam Leavitt and ripped off an 88-yard scoring run as part of his stellar performance. He added another rushing score and one passing touchdown while completing 13 of 24 passes for 177 yards and one interception.

Chamon Metayer caught a touchdown pass for the Sun Devils (6-3, 4-2 Big 12), who prevailed in the rematch of last season’s conference championship game, which was also won by Arizona State.

Rocco Becht completed 18 of 36 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown for Iowa State (5-4, 2-4), which has dropped four straight games. Becht also rushed for a score.

Cyclones tight end Benjamin Brahmer was carted off the field with 8:50 left in the contest after taking a hard hit from Sun Devils cornerback Keith Abney II. He was taken to Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames for evaluation. Brahmer caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter.

Leavitt will soon undergo season-ending foot surgery. Arizona State was also without star receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring).

The Sun Devils were back up at their own 12-yard line in the third quarter when Sims caught the handoff in shotgun formation and headed forward. He shot through a huge hole and sped 88 yards to give Arizona State a 24-16 advantage with 7:47 left in the third quarter.

Iowa State pulled within five on a 35-yard field goal by Kyle Konrardy with one second left in the quarter.

The Cyclones had one final chance, but on fourth-and-6 with 19 seconds left, Chase Sowell caught Becht’s throw and fell to the ground at the Arizona State 20, one yard shy of the first down.
Sims ran for one score and passed for another as the Sun Devils led 17-16 at halftime.

Becht scored on a 7-yard run to give Iowa State a 10-3 lead with 12:45 left in the second quarter.

Just over two minutes later, Sims scored from the 8 to knot the score. He later tossed an 18-yard touchdown pass to Metayer to give the Sun Devils a 17-10 lead with 4:55 remaining in the half.

The Cyclones pulled within one on Becht’s 17-yard scoring pass to Brahmer with 1:01 left. A high snap sabotaged the point-after attempt.

ASU QB Sam Leavitt (foot) to have season-ending surgery

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Arizona State starting quarterback Sam Leavitt will undergo season-ending knee surgery to fix an ongoing issue with his right foot.

Head coach Kenny Dillingham said Friday on “Bickley & Marotta Mornings” on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM radio Friday, that Leavitt would stay behind in Tempe when the Sun Devils (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) travel to Iowa State for their Saturday game. He already had been ruled out against the Cyclones.

Leavitt, voted Big 12 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, initially was injured in a 27-24 win against Baylor on Sept. 20. He has not played consistently since.

“It’s definitely something that’s been lingering all year,” Dillingham said earlier this week. “It’s definitely something that could definitely turn into that (long-term) for sure, just because it hasn’t progressed like we hoped. He’s been dealing with this for pretty much the whole year.”

Leavitt ends his season with 1,628 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Backup Jeff Sims will start against Iowa State.

Last season, Leavitt threw for 2,885 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions as he led the Sun Devils to the Big 12 title and their first College Football Playoff appearance.

He could have made his last appearance for the Sun Devils. As a redshirt sophomore, he is eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Dillingham said Friday that he didn’t know what Leavitt’s future holds.

“?I wish I could answer that question,” Dillingham told the radio show. “I’m not even beginning to process what are his next steps. I haven’t even asked him that.

“I just feel bad for him that he has been dinged up all year and he’s been battling for our football team. It’s unfortunate that it just hasn’t gotten any better.”

QB Sam Leavitt driving as No. 11 Arizona State begins Big 12 repeat bid

Posted on | by Field Level Media

No. 11 Arizona State kicks off the 2025 season at home in Tempe against Northern Arizona, and head coach Kenny Dillingham has heard all he can handle about how difficult it will be to repeat in the Big 12.

History does support the idea of the steep degree of difficulty in going back-to-back in the conference. Only Oklahoma, now in the SEC, has ever done it.

“We’ve used that quite a bit this year. I explain to our guys just the challenge that we have ahead of us. Only one team in the great history of the conference, but no other team has had this guy (Sam Leavitt) as their quarterback, and that’s what gives me some peace,” Dillingham said in a recent appearance on ESPN.

In their debut Big 12 Conference campaign, the Sun Devils went on a late-season, six-game winning streak that carried them to the league title. It was the first outright championship for an Arizona State team since 1996. The championship resulted in a first-ever College Football Playoff appearance for ASU, which ended its season with a quarterfinal overtime loss to Texas.

The Sun Devils enter the 2025 season replacing the breakout star of last year’s surprise finish, running back Cameron Skattebo. Skattebo rushed for 1,711 yards and scored 21 touchdowns with another 605 yards and three scores receiving.

While the All-Big 12 back will now run for the New York Giants, his departure for the NFL leaves a significant void in the Sun Devils’ offense. In the conference preseason poll, Leavitt was selected preseason Offensive Player of the Year.

Leavitt passed for 2,885 yards and 24 touchdowns, threw only six interceptions, and rushed for 443 yards with five scores.

Leavitt will also have his top target back, Jordyn Tyson. Tyson had a late-season injury that sidelined him in the Big 12 Championship Game and Peach Bowl matchup with Texas, but he earned the league’s Newcomer of the Year award with 1,107 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Tyson heads into 2025 as a preseason All-American, an honor Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham spoke of with guarded optimism.

“He deserves it. He’s earned all that, he worked for all that. But he didn’t work for the preseason,” Dillingham said. “He’s worked for the postseason.”

Northern Arizona had an impressive 2024 season in its own right. The Lumberjacks reached the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2017 after finishing tied for third in the Big Sky Conference.

Coach Brian Wright, who came to NAU from Div. II powerhouse Pittsburg State, heads into his second year at the helm with the Big Sky’s 2024 Newcomer of the Year and 2025 preseason first-team pick at quarterback, Ty Pennington, running the offense.

Pennington completed 65.2 percent of his 287 pass attempts for 2,288 yards and 13 touchdowns against just two interceptions. He was also the Lumberjacks’ second-leading rusher at 437 yards with seven touchdowns.

“Obviously he is a great player, and we’ve got him surrounded with great players,” Wright said of Pennington during an appearance on the “Roc & Manuch with Jimmy B.” show on 620 AM radio in Phoenix. “Ty is really comfortable. As an offensive unit, we’ve had a lot of learning moments. … We’re still developing in some areas.”

NAU owed much of its success a season ago to a stifling defense. The Lumberjacks’ 18.8-point per game yield was the 15th-lowest in FCS play.

Lineman Miach Carreon and linebacker Brandon Wong, key contributors to the NAU defense in 2024, were named First Team All-Big Sky in the preseason.

The Lumberjacks have their work cut out for them slowing down the Arizona State offense, however. Not only did the Sun Devils rank No. 30 in FBS last season at 32.9 points per game, but Arizona State has scored at least 30 points in every meeting with Northern Arizona since 1947.

Northern Arizona has not beaten an Arizona State team since 1938, though the 2021 Lumberjacks opened the season knocking off the Sun Devils’ bitter rival, Arizona.

Report: QB Drew Pyne heading to Bowling Green, his fourth school

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Drew Pyne will make Bowling Green his fourth Division I school, he told ESPN on Monday.

Coming out of high school in Connecticut, Pyne was listed as a four-star prospect and the No. 8 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2020 by the 247Sports composite. He committed to Notre Dame out of high school.

Pyne, 24, spent three seasons (2020-22) with the Fighting Irish, then transferred to Arizona State in 2023 and to Missouri in 2024.

Overall, he’s appeared in 25 games, thrown for 2,921 yards and has 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He is 9-3 as a starter, and Bowling Green has an opening for a starter.

He visited Bowling Green and new coach Eddie George over the weekend.

“The opportunity to go play for Eddie George, a returning offensive line that’s strong and experienced,” Pyne told ESPN about what drew him to the Falcons. “And a team that’s very good, played in three straight bowl games and can compete for a championship.”

Former coach Scot Loeffler joined the coaching staff of the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving the opening for George, formerly the head coach at Tennessee State. George and offensive coordinator Travis Partridge run a spread-style offense.
.
“The sell was the team is very gritty, works hard and wants to win games,” Pyne said.

Pyne, a graduate transfer, entered the portal last week and cannot take part in spring practice with Bowling Green because he already has done so with Missouri. ESPN said he will enroll at his new school on May 18 with two years of eligibility remaining.

Meet the 12 CFP Title Contenders: No. 4 Arizona State

Posted on | by Field Level Media

4. Arizona State Sun Devils
11-2 (7-2 Big 12 regular season)

What’s next: First-round bye; vs. winner of No. 12 Clemson-No. 5 Texas at Peach Bowl, Jan. 1.

Head coach: Kenny Dillingham (Second season, 14-11 overall)

About Dillingham: A graduate of Arizona State and native Phoenician, Dillingham returned to Tempe in 2023 after five impressive seasons as an offensive coordinator, with stops at Memphis and Florida State alongside fellow former Sun Devils assistant Mike Norvell.

Resume
Highlighting a late-season push with six straight wins are Arizona State’s signature victories over fellow Top 25 teams Kansas State and BYU. The 24-14 and 28-23 wins followed a pattern of close calls through the Sun Devils’ season, with nine of their 12 regular-season games decided by 10 points or fewer — including the two losses at Texas Tech (30-22) and Cincinnati (24-14). They busted out of the trend of close calls with a dominant 45-19 shellacking of Iowa State in the Big 12 championship.

Postseason history
Arizona State’s last appearance in one of the postseason events that became part of the Bowl Championship Series and four-team Playoff era’s New Year’s Six predates either system. The 1996 Sun Devils came a possession away from a national championship with their Rose Bowl Game loss to Ohio State. This season’s Playoff is the closest Arizona State has come to returning to that high watermark since the 2013 team lost to Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game.

The road to Atlanta
Rest is the first order of business for Arizona State after a surprisingly lopsided win in the Big 12 title game. No. 5 Texas hosts Clemson on Dec. 21 and the winner meets the Sun Devils on Jan. 1 in Atlanta at the Peach Bowl.

Names to know
RB Cameron Skattebo
He shares a conference with the top Heisman Trophy contender (Colorado’s Travis Hunter) and a position with the other (Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty), or else Skattebo might be in the conversation himself.

His 172.8 all-purpose yards per game in the regular season were second-most in the nation. He is only 74 yards shy of tying the conference single-season rushing record after putting up 170 yards in the Big 12 title game, and his three TDs against Iowa State put him atop the single-season TD record list.

QB Sam Leavitt
Quietly among the most productive dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, Leavitt heads into the postseason having completed 192 of 304 pass attempts for 2,663 yards and rushing for 383 yards. Leavitt has 24 passing touchdowns against only five interceptions and five rushing touchdowns, second on the team only to Skattebo’s 19.

“Sam’s competitive so if you tell him he’s tied for the first-best player in the country in something he’s going to get pissed off about,” Dillingham said to reporters this week. “Which is good.”

WR Xavier Guillory
Teammate Jordyn Tyson was having a Biletnikoff Award-caliber season for Arizona State, but the 6-foot-1 sophomore receiver sustained an unspecified arm injury in the regular-season finale vs. Arizona that required season-ending surgery. With Tyson’s 1,101 yards, 10 touchdowns worth of production out, Guillory looked the part of the primary pass-catching option against the Cyclones.

The fifth-year senior, who had 17 receptions and three touchdowns in the regular season, hauled in a bonkers TD catch against Iowa State that made the score 38-10.

NB Shamari Simmons
Simmons’ teammate in the Arizona State secondary, Xavion Alford, garnered First Team All-Big 12 honors. Alford’s presence at free safety has helped Simmons be aggressive at nickel back, manifesting in Simmons racking up seven tackles for loss and forcing three fumbles.

DT C.J. Fite
The Arizona State run defense has been excellent throughout the season, limiting opponents to 117.5 yards per game and 3.8 yards per carry in the regular season. Fite’s physicality on the interior sets the tone for the Sun Devils against the rush. The big man also provided one of the highlight moments of the season with his scoop-and-score touchdown in Week 2 against Mississippi State, going airborne to reach the pylon.

Arizona State takes charge early, pulls off upset of No. 16 Kansas State

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Sam Leavitt was 21-of-34 for 275 yards and three touchdowns as Arizona State defeated No. 20 Kansas State 24-14 in the first Big 12 Conference matchup between the two teams. Two of Leavitt’s touchdowns were to Jordyn Tyson, who caught 12 passes for 176 yards.

The Sun Devils (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) had built a 24-0 lead in the third quarter before K-State got its offense going. Arizona State reached Kansas State territory on each of its first nine drives and was 9-of-15 on third downs.

Arizona State has won all six regular-season meetings between the two schools. K-State’s only victory came in the 2002 Holiday Bowl.

The Wildcats had just six first downs before getting the ball on its own 22 with 5:15 left in the third quarter on a fumble by Arizona State. Avery Johnson led two second-half touchdown drives.

Johnson finished 24-of-40 for 258 yards, but he had two interceptions and no touchdowns for Kansas State (7-3, 4-3 Big 12).

K-State had a chance to make it a one-score game in the fourth quarter on a Chris Tennant 36-yard field-goal attempt with 2:02 left. But a bad snap led to Tennant’s kick going wide right.

Penalties were costly for the Wildcats. They had halted the Sun Devils’ first drive, but a defensive penalty on third down extended the drive and Leavitt found Tyson for an 11-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

Trailing 21-0 early in the second quarter, Johnson found Dante Cephas on a 63-yard pass for a touchdown, but the Wildcats were called for an ineligible receiver downfield. They would eventually turn the ball over on downs.

The Sun Devils took a 7-0 lead into the second quarter, but Leavitt found Tyson for a 30-yard touchdown on the second play of the quarter. On K-State’s third play of the ensuing drive, Johnson found Jayce Brown, who gained 13 yards before fumbling. The fumble was recovered by Arizona State.

Leavitt then found Chamon Metayor on a 16-yard touchdown pass and the Sun Devils were up three scores.

They extended the lead to 24-0 in the third quarter.

Fortunes reversed, Oklahoma State hosts Arizona State, looks for first Big 12 win

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Two teams predicted to be at different ends of the Big 12 standings before the season started will face each other Saturday night at Stillwater, Okla., with Arizona State visiting Oklahoma State.

Arizona State (5-2, 2-2) was picked to finish last in its first season in the Big 12 in the preseason media poll. Instead, Oklahoma State (3-5, 0-5) sits in last place after it was picked to finish third behind Utah and Kansas State.

“They have good players, and they’re in a very marketable geographical location in the country for portals, which they’ve hit that market hard,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy reasoned about Arizona State’s success. “They’ve had success in that area, and they’ve done a good job.”

One of the transfers, in his second season with the Sun Devils, is former Sacramento State running back Cam Skattebo, who is third in the Big 12 in rushing with 848 yards on 150 carries with 10 touchdowns.

Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State’s touted running back, is ninth at 568 yards on 135 carries with eight touchdowns.

Skattebo also ranks seventh nationally in missed tackles forced with 49, according to Pro Football Focus.

“He’s their energy,” Gundy said. “If you want to slow them down, you better tackle him.”

Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said quarterback Sam Leavitt should return from an injury to his ribs suffered in the Sun Devils’ win over then-No. 16 Utah on Oct. 11.

He missed the Sun Devils’ most recent game, a 24-14 loss at Cincinnati, on Oct. 19.

Leavitt, a transfer from Michigan State, has completed 90 of 152 passes for 1,166 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions.

“He’s cleared to play,” Dillingham said. “He wants to play. He’s excited about playing. He’s been putting in a lot of work to play, so we’ll see how that transpires.”

Gordon, a preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year selection, rejected rumors Monday that he will shut down the rest of his junior season to concentrate on the NFL draft.

“My momma always taught me that you finish what you start,” Gordon said. “Who would I be to give up on my team because our season is not going how we want it to go?”

QB woes a key issue as No. 16 Utah takes on Arizona State

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Utah’s offense has regressed in quarterback Cameron Rising’s absence, and the No. 16 Utes’ chances of living up to Big 12 preseason expectations may hinge on his status going forward.

Rising has not played since injuring his throwing hand late in the second quarter against Baylor on Sept. 7, and the seventh-year senior — who has thrown for 346 yards and seven touchdowns in 1 1/2 games this season — likely will be a game-time decision in Utah’s Big 12 game at Arizona State (4-1, 1-1) on Friday night in Tempe, Ariz.

If Rising can’t play, freshman Isaac Wilson will make his fourth straight start.

Utah (4-1, 1-1) has struggled to finish drives in Rising’s absence. The Utes are averaging 16 points and 410 yards per game against Big 12 foes, and they have just two touchdowns in their past eight trips to the red zone.

Through five games, Utah has 11 touchdowns on 22 drives in which the Utes have reached the red zone.

“We’re about 20 percent off where we need to be,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “It’s not like we’re absolutely horrible. We’re at 50 percent, which isn’t good by any means, but 70 percent is our target. If we can be 70 percent in the red zone, which we have been for several years … then that’s good production.”

Wilson has struggled to be a consistent passer.

He is averaging 242 yards passing per game in his three starts this season. Still, he has completed only 55.7 percent of his passes and has thrown seven interceptions in five games. His mistakes stalled the Utah offense at crucial junctures in a 23-10 loss to Arizona on Sept. 28.

“His entire game just needs to continue to get tighter and better,” Whittingham said. “But there’s not any one glaring area where you can say he’s really lacking in this or that. He’s a freshman — a true freshman. There’s going to be a learning curve, there’s going to be mistakes made that you’re going to have to live with.”

Arizona State has been trending in a much better direction behind a robust rushing attack. Cam Skattebo ranks second in the Big 12 in rushing with 615 yards and is averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

The Sun Devils also have battled inconsistency from redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt, who has three 200-yard-plus games in five starts this season. He’s also completed just 59 percent of his passes. Still, Leavitt is showing progress. He threw four touchdown passes in a 35-31 win over Kansas last week after totaling only three TD passes over his first four games.

“The best thing about Sam is he’s a self-corrector,” Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said. “He can see things. He can feel what’s wrong. He can feel himself do something right, and then he can correct (mistakes) on his own.”

Arizona State leads the all-time series against Utah 22-12, but the Utes have won four straight games in the set and routed the Sun Devils 55-3 in Salt Lake City last season behind four touchdown passes from Bryson Barnes and a season-best 352 rushing yards by the team.
